25 Mar, 2018

I have set a rather ambitious goal for the remainder of 2018… Better late then never, right? For 2018, I am embarking on a journey of learning as much as I can. I am encouraged by a friend who is doing a similar challenge… So, I have set a goal to read 100 books in 2018.

A few people have already asked for my list, recommendations, thoughts and reviews. I put together this page, a collection of the books I’ve read, and for a select few, a link to my review. You can also check out my GoodReads profile here.

If you have any suggestions I should add to my list, please share! Hope you enjoy.

I've received a lot of questions about my 2018 New Year's Resolution goal of reading 100 books, so thought I would pull some of the frequent questions together in a single place with answers. Frequently Asked Questions How did you create the time to read all of these books? First, it came with a commitment towards the goal, followed by a break down of measurable outcomes. Doing the math, I knew I needed to read (avg) 2 books per week an
